I think it can't hurt here to quote this one:

    "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
     Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
     by definition, not smart enough to debug it." -- Brian Kernighan

Interpreted version:  Before you even start to write some patch, make
sure you have a test to prove its correctness.
